TALAMANCA has raced twice over 6f and won on both occasions. He carries a double penalty back on the all-weather but today’s moderate opposition all need to step up on what they’ve shown so far to trouble the selection. Byefornow is upped in trip having failed to threaten on her handicap debut while most of the remainder go handicapping for the first time. Of those, Gottaifan, The Van Man and Yoo Bee See are worth noting with headgear applied to the latter.
